Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Review

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a ride located in Hollywood Studios that opened on March 4, 2020.

In August, I rode this ride for the very first time and I am going to be telling you all about it.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is located in the Chinese Theater. The Chinese Theater is really pretty, so be sure to take pictures and look at all the different posters on the walls.

Before you start the ride, you watch a Mickey Short called Perfect Picnic. Goofy pops out off the screen and invites you to join him on a train trip. You spend the entire ride with Goofy on his train.

This ride also has A LOT of Hidden Mickeys, so be sure to keep on the look out!

I really enjoyed this ride, but my only complaint is that everything on this ride went by so fast that I was struggling to keep up.

Besides that, I really enjoyed this ride!

Is The Coconut Dole Whip Better Than The Classic Pineapple Dole Whip?

On my last trip to Disney World, we went to Aloha Isle Refreshments.

Aloha Isle Refreshments has a must get snack. Can you guess what it is? It’s the Dole Whip! Every time we go to Disney World, we always get the Pineapple Dole Whip. We bought it again this trip.

The Pineapple Dole Whip isn’t the only type of Dole Whip you can get. There are many different types of Dole Whips to choose from. We also got a Raspberry and Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl. It was really good! The Raspberry and the Pineapple go really well together.

I decided to try the Coconut Dole Whip because I LOVE coconut! The Coconut Dole Whip was delicious! If you love coconut like me, then this is your Dole Whip. You can taste the coconut in every bite.

I actually like the Coconut Dole Whip more than the Pineapple Dole Whip. I know what your thinking. How?! I actually do not like Pineapple, so that is why I like the Coconut Dole Whip better.

The Mara Review

The Mara is a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. I went to The Mara for the first time back in July and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

The Mara has indoor seating…

…and outdoor seating.

We decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. I had the Tamarind Pulled Pork Sandwich. It comes with coleslaw (on the side) and French fries. It was delicious! If you like Pulled Pork Sandwiches, you should definitely get this.

Here is a closer picture of the coleslaw.

My mom and dad shared the Braai Chicken Flatbread. The Braai Flatbread has sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, pieces of chicken, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, and Saag Dahl Ranch drizzle. They said that they really liked all the different flavors in the flatbread.

Al had the Cheeseburger from the kids’ menu.

Zebra Domes are very well know so we decided to try them. The Zebra Domes were absolutely delicious! When you go to The Mara, you should try these!

I give The Mara 5 Mickey Bars!

Here are some additional pictures from The Mara:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

In July, we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, there are two separate villages that you can stay in: the Jambo House and Kidani Village. We stayed at Kidani Village.

What is really nice about the Animal Kingdom Lodge is that it is really close to Animal Kingdom. That can help you get to the parks earlier and let you do more rides!

Here are some pictures of the lobby at Kidani Village.

Here are some pictures of the lobby at Jambo House.

Animal Kingdom Lodge has four restaurants. The Mara, Sanaa, Jiko, and Boma. Update: Jiko is currently closed. We went to The Mara and Sanaa. I will review these restaurants in different blog articles, so keep on the look out!

Here are some pictures from the room we stayed in.

At Animal Kingdom Lodge, you can see animals from your balcony!

I think you should definitely stay at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!

Look At These Disney Themed Board Games!

When you are in Disney World, there are always interesting merchandise you can buy in different stores!

After you finish riding Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom, there is a gift store that you walk into. The gift store had many Disney themed board games!

First, we have the Game of Life, except it’s Disney!

You can also play a Disney Parks Monopoly.

Are you a fan of the Jungle Cruise ride in Magic Kingdom? If so, you will want this board game!

This Candyland is Disney Theme Park Edition.

I love the board game Clue, so I found this version of Clue very interesting.

We also have a theme park version of Perfection!

At Mouse Gear, I found a Disney Themed Uno!

These Dominoes have hidden Mickey’s.

Those are all the Disney themed board games I found while in Disney World. If you are going to Disney World soon, be sure to check out the stores because you will always find something interesting!

Gelateria Toscana Review

There is a new stand in the Italy pavilion that sells gelato!

Here is a picture of the menu:

I had the Cookies and Cream Gelato. It was absolutely delicious! I loved how there was a lot of little bits of cookies in the gelato.

You can also have one cup that has two scoops of two different gelatos. My dad had the Lemon and Pistachio Gelato. He loved it.

Al had the Strawberry and Cookies and Cream Gelato. He also enjoyed his gelato.

I would give Gelateria Toscana 4 Mickey Bars! The only issue is that the gelato was a little pricey, but besides that we would totally go back!
